1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objective: Malignant melanoma (MM) is one of the most malignant types of skin cancer and its incidence and mortality rates are increasing worldwide. Aging is well recognized as a significant risk factor for cancer. However, few studies have analyzed in depth the association between aging-related genes (AGs) and malignant melanoma prognosis with tumor immune microenvironment. Methods: Here, we downloaded 471 MM patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) with RNA sequence and clinicopathological data. 58 AGs from the TCGA dataset were examined using Cox regression and the LASSO assay. As a result, a gene signature for aging-related genes was created. The time-dependent ROC curve and Kaplan-Meier analysis were calculated to determine its predictive capability. Moreover, we created a nomogram for the clinicopathologic variables and the AGs gene signature to determine overall survival (OS). We also explored the association between three immune checkpoints, immune cell infiltration, and the aging-related gene signature. Results: We established an aging risk model to identify and predict the immune microenvironment in malignant melanoma. Then we developed and validated a prognosis risk model using three AGs (CSNK1E, C1QA, and SOD-2) in the GSE65904 dataset. The aging signature was positively associated with clinical and molecular characteristics and can be used as a prognostic factor for malignant melanoma. The low aging risk score was associated with a poor prognosis and indicated an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Conclusions: To summarize, we established and validated a model of aging risk based on three aging-related genes that acted as an independent prognostic predictor of overall survival. Besides, it also characterized the immune response in the malignant melanoma microenvironment and could provide a potential indicator of individualized immunotherapy in malignant melanoma.
